Frenchi934 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 is the 6g72 an aluminum or iron block? What does it weigh compared to a g54b? or even a 1uzfe? Not that any of that matters to someone looking for pure horsepower, but I was just curious if you knew I love this motor swap and your work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

button Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 87blue, no sir, mitsu has used cast iron blocks up until 2005 concept cars and 2007 production, the lancer evolution x I believe was the first mitsu with an aluminum block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Bill, what would it take if say, some one wanted to do this swap with a manual instead of a automatic? You can PM so we don't dirty up the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can PM so we don't dirty up the thread. yeah, I bought a clutch/flywheel set up out of a stealth 3000 off E bay last week and took a look at it, I gotta decide on which trans to use and then work out the details the R 154 is getting harder to find, the T 5 would be my next chioce, because you could also use the TKO 's and no dont bring up the T 56, I dont want to hear it I am pretty close on this project, then I have to mate the C4 to the wide block, I am working on the 4AG Toyota engine and I am doing a Honda KA set up, plus I still build all my other stuff and work my day job, so I been a little slow lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hincher Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) an inch is as good as a mile when you are in chargehttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72GMadapter77.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72GMadapter78.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72GMadapter79.jpg after the flexplate and its location was settled on, I could place the starter in the systemI knew placing the starter would be the toughest part of the build, so I moved ot around many times before I decided on the placement, this is a neet little puzzlehttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72GMadapter85.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72GMadapter80.JPGhttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72GMadapter81.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72GMadapter82.JPG because this is a reverse starter system and because I used the largest diameter ring gear as I could to fit between the two lower bellhousing bolts, I had to place the starter in the location I could get closest to the ring gear and furthest from the transmission housing I wanted to keep the starter as high as I could to clear the headershttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72GMadapter83.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72GMadapter84.JPG Edited August 14, 2011 by Bill Hincher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hincher Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Will the starter clear the floor pan? yeah, if the engine is located as the 4G63 is then the starter is forward of the firewall as well as low enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hincher Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I set the 4G63 about 2 inches ahead of where the G54b set, its where everything fit well and it didnt change anything in the engine compartentafter I get this housing done, I will build the mounts for it and set it in the conquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
